| Summary: | The global rise of obesity has increased the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The obesity, a key risk factor of T2DM, leads to insulin resistance, which contributes to cognitive decline and potentially AD through shared metabolic pathways. This Commentary highlights the connection between obesity, T2DM, and AD, suggesting that lifestyle changes like weight loss and discontinuation of sugar consumption may help to prevent these conditions. Comprehensive public health strategies focusing on diet, exercise, and education are essential to reduce the growing health crisis and improve metabolic and cognitive health globally. |
